​
​
At least twice a year, we hold a book fair to raise money for the events and projects at Cutler Ridge Elementary school.
Money we raise helps us to fund many areas of the school. In 2016-2017, we upgraded the Media Center with $700 worth of new reading materials, and in 2019-2020 we added an additional $900 worth of reading material.
STEAM Science Fair​
​
Every year, Cutler Ridge Elementary PTA and Assurant Satellite Learning Center PTA collaborate to hold the Gazing at the Stars Science Fair at Cutler Ridge Park. Along with displaing the students' science fair projects, we have fun STEAM activities, and invite special guests who bring robotics and telescopes to add to the activities.
Marquee Upgrade
​
​
Nearly 20 years ago, PTA donated this marquee to the school. It has served us well, however, it is no longer easily viewed from the street. Our goal is to get a new LED marquee with maybe a bit more height, so that our messages can be easily shared in our community.
McDonald's McTeacher's Night
We are proud to have partnered with the Caribbean Blvd​​. McDonalds in our efforts to raise money for our school. Our very own Cutler Ridge Elementary teachers volunteered at McDonalds, serving our students and their family in this fun-filled fundraising event 2015-2017.
After School Programs
​
​
During the 2016-2017 school year, our school launched our afterschool STEAM clubs which provide students with extra-curricular activities in the arts and sciences. With a matching donation from Dr. Feldman of the MDCPS Board, PTA was able to sponsor a Drone Club. We just need dedicated volunteers to help us run the club.
Shade Canopy
Every afternoon, after school, the children wait to be picked up in the grassy area by the designated parent pick-up. We are currently researching companies to put in a shade canopy to cover this area, to block out harmful UV rays and inclement weather.
